I used to take the odd gill with Leslie Welch. This Leslie Welch was a splendid fellow who did a fine job of keeping the sewers of Durham City running freely. If I remember correctly your Leslie Welch once stopped at my Leslie Welsh's B&B. My LW had many strings to his bow including a fine memory. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

One went to Caerphilly, and the other went to the Gwili, Carmarthen. sadly, Both of these had radiator issues, and although repairable, were cut up. I remember them . Faded blue ? Parked up together in the late 1970's after Whiteheads had finished with them . Passed them regularly on my way to do a bit of spotting at Ebbw Junction .

Sceptical about working marker lights being fitted on an 02 if they couldn't do it on the larger PWM 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the Class 02 will take after the Class 11 instead of the PWM 'misfire' - purchasers of the former seem happy with it to date......🤞 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albie the plumber Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 52 minutes ago, Awesime said: Any updates on reaching the shops?? Haven't heard anything as yet . If you get notifications from their FB page you could ask the question . They're usually very good at replying I've learnt to take delivery dates for models from all manufacturers with a large pinch of salt . Always over optimistic leading to disappointment when predicted delivery dates come and go . Worse still, you get modellers insulting modellers when legitimate questions are asked ( see the SLW class 25 thread/ debacle to see what I mean ) and where some individuals have assumed the role of moderator. Very unedifying in what is at the end of the day , a hobby . 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie the plumber Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) At the model world LIVE in Brum and of particular interest to me was the 00 gauge class 02 . Got a couple of close up shots thru the glass case ( sorry , but I'm no David Bailey and it looks good and , having spoken to Ben Jones , he has said the 00 model WILL have shunting lights . Result ! Delivery expected in the autumn. Edited April 27 by Albie the plumber Additional text 8 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Rich_F Posted August 30 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 30 I really want one of these, but am a bit worried about the short wheelbase on DC layouts, especially over a couple of older insulfrog points. Has there been mention of how it runs over points etc? Or will we have to wait & see? If it's as good as the Hornby Ruston 48DS then I'll pre order 😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will in the fullness of time be digitised and the obligatory stay alive fitted . Not sure if a capacitor will work on DC but it's unlikely to have any such capacitor fitted . Great model all the same . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
